According to people living there, this place is known as Patriata due to a minor misundersatnding of a foreigner who happened to visit this place before the independence of Pakistan and he didn't know the name of this beautiful point, So he asked an old lady who was passsing with pot of flour on her head and didn't understand English language. She thought that the man was asking about her pot. So she answered him in Punjabi/Panjistani "Puttar, Atta" which means in English "Son, (it is) Flour".
